We Belong Together

The Talk part 2

Jughead's pov

I just sat there in complete silence for a few minutes, just kinda taking in what sweetpea had said. I had started to think to myself, 'maybe feeling something for him wasn't such a bad thing.' So i finally take a breath, place my hand on Sweetpea's hand and say. "Ok you're right." Pea then looks at me surprised and says, "huh i was really?" I then nod and say, "yeah maybe their could be something here. But you and i both know, if even one northside bulldog catches wind of anything like this we will have targets on our back." Pea then seem to get upset, as he huffed and says, "oh who cares what those northside mut dogs think. Why should they get to run our lives and tell us who to be with and who not to be with?" I then sigh getting a bit annoyed myself as i knew there could be something between us, but also didn't wanna face the facts that were basically smacking both me and sweet pea in the face. So i sigh and rub my face as i say, "ok let's not get worked up, i didn't say it mattered if they did say something. I was just saying knowing Reggie Mantle of all people, he would shame us the first time he caught wind of it trust me." Pea then looks out the window, i could tell he was upset but then he looked back at me as he said, "ok, and what does that matter? We can handle Mantle of all people." I then sit there silently for a second thinking, 'ok on one hand you could have something for Sweet Pea, but on the other hand you're scared if you do things will go wrong.' I then sigh still sitting silently, then pea speaks up and say's, "maybe we should just think about it." And at that moment my phone dinged, i pick it up off the table looking to see what it was, i roll my eyes. "What is it jones?" Pea ask concerned, "just my dad. I...i gotta go. Text you later to meet up again. Yeah?" Pea then replies, "yeah sure text you later."
